More than one million people in Ukraine have been left without power after Russia launched a "massive strike" on the country's energy grid overnight.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia launched 90 missiles and 100 drones in response to Ukraine's attacks with UK and US-supplied weapons last week.

Its a war.
One in which the US has no national interest.
The Lindsey Grahams, Mitch McConnells, Cheneys, Romneys, Bidens, Raytheons, Blackrocks, and Nulands might have *their* interests in Ukraine, but not the US.
